As the sexual addiction progresses, it becomes so consuming that many addicts secretly squander family finances on their personal sexual pleasure. They often neglect their family’s basic needs while insisting on the best clothes, meals, entertainment — the best everything for themselves. The family struggles to make do with what they have or accepts hand-me-downs from others.
Many addicts rack up debts of thousands of dollars to indulge their addiction. One sexual addict confessed to spending $70,000 on his addiction during the three years prior to when his wife left him. Addicts hide these debts from the mate along with the addiction. As the obsession progresses, they lose the ability to concentrate on their work. They may engage in risky behavior that compromises their job.
